SECURITY FORCES RECOVER LARGE QUANTITIES OF WEAPONS & AMMUNITION IN MANIPUR
Army and Assam Rifles along with Police & CAPFs commenced Area Domination Operations in the Hills and Valley area across Manipur today. As part of a joint strategy for the recovery of snatched weapons, these operations are significant for restoring peace and will continue in a calibrated manner.
Conducted under the surveillance cover of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Quadcopters, the operations have so far resulted in the recovery of 40 weapons (mostly automatic), mortars, ammunition & other warlike stores.
During the conduct of these operations, adequate measures were undertaken to ensure that the locals are not harassed and that personal safety and security is maintained.
Following the directions during the visit of the Hon’ble Union Home Minister, Security Forces have once again appealed to all those in possession of snatched weapons to surrender the same at the earliest for ensuring peace and stability in Manipur. Security Forces also warned that failure to surrender these weapons will make all such people liable for strict legal action.
